Jurgen Klopp will wait until matchday before deciding whether to unleash Mo Salah on Manchester City.

Liverpool's Premier League top scorer trained on Monday, just five days after limping out of the Champions League quarter-final first leg between the sides with a groin injury.

Klopp insisted there are no mind games going on as he revealed that even though he is confident the 38-goal forward will be fit for Tuesday's return fixture, he's going to wait to see if there is a reaction to Monday's session at Melwood before naming his line-up.

“Mo trained with Alberto Moreno [who also missed the weekend's Mersey derby] with the athletic coach yesterday. Afterwards, both said, 'We will be fine.'

“That is how it always is. With little injuries, you have to wait.

“We have training, then we have to wait for the reaction tomorrow and we will make a decision. Everyone will have to see after the session.

“There is no secret. He felt something, whatever it was. It was five days ago.”

Even if Salah and Moreno both make it, Klopp doesn’t have enough fit, senior professionals to fill out his starting XI and seven-man bench.

That means 17-year-old midfielder Curtis Jones is likely to be among the visitors' subs.
